Mitt Quit: And May Soon Have a Laser Fit

Last edited Tue Feb 3, 2015, 12:51 PM - Edit history (2)

As everyone is now, well aware - Willard Mitt Romney bowed out of the 2016 POTUS main event race. While arguments abound as to whom the bell tolls (when he decided, why he decided and who benefits). The fact of the matter remains, he's no longer in the race. This is a good thing for America;

but a bad thing for Laser Haas's quests against him.

[center][font size=4]Romney's Quitting Upsets Laser Haas's Quest for Justice[/font][/center]

This early departure is a troubling matter to me. Please - don't get me wrong, I'm happy - for our nation - that he, whom I claim to be a RICO boss, is no longer running to be POTUS. However, this does not bode well for the battle to bring him, Bain Capital, Goldman Sachs and a plethora of cohorts - to Justice. Simply because, Mitt is now old news and no one will care to hear about him anymore. Taibbi missed some of my facts, in his "Greed and Debt" cover story (the pic above, being the cover of Rolling Stone's magazine September 2012). I'm simply going to point out the key facts that Taibbi (and others) missed - that are so very important . It will be harder to do, now that Mitt has quit, before his just due.

Be that as it may, I'm still going to try to give Romney his 15 minutes of "true" f{l}ame!

[/center]
Just before the announcements were to come out, Romney's former Campaign counsel and now General Counsel of the Republican's Lawyer's Association, reached out to me on LinkedIn. The inference being that I've gotten what I wanted and should now go away.

EAANNNTTT! - One doesn't stop going after a Capone-esque guy, simply because he is a little less a threat.

This week, or the next, I'm filing a new brief, piggy backing another case (almost seamlessly); because the Ninth Circuit has dismissed my case - entirely - as the Circuit Court abused its discretion. Like so many courts heretofore and the District Court below the 9th Circuit, ruling, I'm vexatious and that the crimes of Romney & gang - are "insubstantial".

[font size=4]A victim of organized crime - has the right to VEX - the racketeers![/font]

It took over 20 years - each - to bring Bernie Madoff and Tom Petters Ponzi schemes to justice. I'm only in my 14th year against Willard Mitt Romney, Bain Capital and Goldman Sachs. (But those parties weren't silly enough to run for POTUS and attempt a 3rd time). Unlike those 2 cases, in our cases of eToys, Kay Bee and New York Supreme Court cases, we have both confessions to filings of erroneous affidavits (Perjury). We also have capitulations to the fact that the lying under oath to a chief federal justice

------------was intentional!

[br][hr][br]
I'm coming for you Pitten's

It's you - or me - RMoney!

and The Law, the Facts - Plus Confessions

are on my side

Corruption is your Only hope!



[br]

I'm having a fit - right now - that Mitt Quit

But (if there's justice in this world)

- a Mitt Fit will be next

We'll See![/font][/center]
[br]
[font size=6] UPDATE [/font]

I'm adding this excerpt quote to make a point. You will see a certain band of (purported) legal professionals always follow me around and (successfully - sad to say) quash the conversations. They never argue the facts; because they simply can't.

We all know that Wall Street bandits such as Goldman Sachs and Bain Capital are Too Big to Jail and/or Fail! It is a fact of life, due to the issue that we are in a global economy and bribery has become a global beast - hard to track down.

Be that as it may - I've sworn an oath - never to quit, in getting Mitt and his gang.

Here, you will see a quote by a VERY well known judge. The particular cases doesn't matter. What is germane, is that the judge (a federal one, who used to be a bankruptcy justice - and should be VP candidate for Elizabeth Warren's POTUS campaign) - concludes with THE question - apropos - to our Romney racketeering case.

On the contrary, at the federal level alone, there are numerous statutes that criminalize the intentional making of false statements -----, including the mail fraud statute (18 U.S.C. § 1341), the wire fraud statute (18 U.S.C. § 1343), the bank fraud statute (18 U.S.C. § 1344), the securities fraud statute (15 U.S.C. § 78ff), and many more.

Thus, I respectfully disagree with--ultimate suggestion that we need more laws “to deter this problematic behavior.”

---------So far as criminal prosecutions are concerned, the legal weapons are already there.

[center] The question is, who will use them?

[br]

Who - Indeed.....

------------ if only this judge were on our cases....

Media Stories Related to Romney Racketeering Case

[center][font size=4]Paul Traub[/font] -and- [font size=4 color=red]e[/font][font size=5 color=navy blue]Toys[/font] -and- [font size=4]Colm Connolly[/font][/center]
[br]
Many asked me last night, how it is that - if my allegations are true - how can it be that the Department of Justice isn't doing anything about this. It's a valid question. My answer is that they ARE - Too Big to Jail - AND - that (beyond the issues of OBVIOUS willful blindness) there's also the issue of duplicity. If (as I have alleged and can prove) there are Department of Justice personnel involved - THEN - the Department of Justice is also covering up their embarrassments.

As is obvious, from the comment parties who follow me around (usually the same troopers) - they bark that there's no merits; but they offer you no proof to the contrary - concerning my allegations. This is because they simply CAN"T! As it is, they are at great risk for looking like fools, defending those that we Democrats (are supposed to) LOATHE!

Here are some articles - all related to the cases - that some may wish to peruse; so that you get a bigger picture. Just remember that - in order for me to Get Mitt - I have to nail those who benefited him. Hence, my goal is simply to draw attention to the cases of "The Learning Company", Stage Stores, Kay Bee and eToys (all of the infamous "retroactive" 1999 to 2001 time-frame). That being said, the big 3 are - Paul Traub, Colm Connolly and eToys. And (believe it or not) it will be much harder to nail Paul Traub than it will be the former Delaware United States Attorney Colm F Connolly.

As was written in the Reddit.com banned Addicting Info's "What's GOP Romney Hiding"

For starters, it’s quite disturbing that — out of all the vile, rapacious corporate raiders on Wall Street, Romney has been targeted with a lawsuit for racketeering. That really says something. The bar for getting courts to hear a lawsuit on racketeering — the kind of criminal and systemic money laundering, gambling, price fixing, and market manipulations associated with powerful mobs and drug lords — is so high that even fictitious district attorneys on shows like The Wire and The Sopranos have trouble with taking these cases to court


AND - later in that same online thread -


That’s right. Mitt Romney’s company, Bain Capital, made its money off the shriveled carcasses of once-thriving companies with well-paid union workers, like eToys and Sensata Technologies.
.

[br]

That story links to a previous Addicting Info story "Romney Slapped with Racketeering"

that points out my allegation of Romney owning his very personal federal prosecutor - Colm Connolly
[br]
According to the affidavit by Mr. Haas, his firm found many accounting irregularities which he reported to US Attorney Colm F. Connolly. However, instead of acting, the issues were ignored. It turned out that Mr. Connolly failed to recuse himself from the case despite his ties to Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell (MNAT), a law firm which Mr. Haas alleges has ties to Mr. Romney. Of course Mr. Romney already tried to claim that he had retroactively retired from Bain Capital. The failure of Mr. Connolly to enforce the RICO statute has landed him a spot on the lawsuit, right next to Mr. Romney.


[br][hr][br]
[center][font size=6] AFFIDAVIT of Laser Haas[/font][/center]

Just remember, when you see haters and ain't'rs telling you that there's no merits to my case

1 - I have CONFESSIONS that are already part of the Federal Court Docket Record

2- Yours truly has TESTIFIED to the allegations - via AFFIDAVITS - Under Penalty of Perjury.

If, for one moment, there was a single, solitary bit of my testimony that was false - Don't you think this turds wouldn't have me behind bars already? Does it not make you curious - WHY - (in all these years) hasn't anyone sued me for defamation and/or slander?

It's because they CAN"T!

Here's the link to my Affidavit - that was put into record LONG before I filed the Romney Racketeering case.

While I have nothing but disdain for Romney or his history of ripping people off to line his pockets that does not mean we have to humor any and every ill conceived pointless crusade just because it happens to be aimed in his direction.

There are plenty of legitimate things to go after Romney over without us all having to be pulled into the swirling chaotic vortex of your persecution complex / conspiracy theory factory.




And just a random tip. It probably didn't help your attempts to be taken seriously that you apparently keep insisting on referring to yourself as "Laser" in actual official court documents. Grow up already.

The case keeps getting thrown out - due to corruption.

As the recent stories on my case opined.

FireDogLake Jan. 1, 2015 "unending eToys"

that states FACTS (not your wishful fiction) that there ARE merits -

as noted;


Meanwhile, the eToys.com bankruptcy process went on and had its own share of drama. The US trustee in the case learned that two people involved in the bankruptcy process who were supposed to be in an adversarial role were actually business partners. Paul Traub of Traub, Bonacquist & Fox represented the creditors in the eToys.com bankruptcy and had recommended Barry Gold to serve as CEO of eToys.com. But unknown to the bankruptcy court at the time was that Traub and Gold were partners in Asset Disposition Associates. The trustee at the time who filed the complaint, Kelly Stapleton, said that “the failure to disclose is difficult to understand as inadvertent rather than deliberate.”

Mon Feb 2, 2015, 07:34 PM
Feb 2015

United States Trustee MOTION to Disgorge Paul Traub's law firm $1.6 million.

In part 18, the U.S. Trustee remarks that Traub's firm admitted "intentionally" lying under oath (to a chief justice - no less) and - in parts 19 & 35 - the U.S. Trustee Motion remarks that the parties were forewarned (cautioned) in advance.

Hence, if there are NO merits to my case - how is it that the parties ADMITTED to deliberate lies under oath?

If you or I did such a thing. We'd be in prison!

http://petters-fraud.com/DisgorgeMotion_TBF_1_6_Million.pdf

PART 18

TBF asserts that its failure to disclose its connections to Gold was a mistake and
oversight, not intentional wrongdoing. TBF attributes the nondisclosure to several
circumstances: ADA was a newly formed business, and Traub (the TBF partner who is a member
of ADA, had limited involvement in the case after June 1, 2001; Gold’s employment by the
debtors was not related to ADA; TBF has no interest in ADA; and Traub and Fox have always
treated ADA’s business as separate and apart from TBF’s affairs. TBF Objection, ¶ 37. TBF
further asserts that although Traub and Fox considered amending their disclosures in 2003 (as a
result of their July 2003 disclosure of the relationship between TBF and ADA in the Bonus
Stores case, No. 03-12284 (MFW), they determined that it was not necessary to do so because
the eToys plan had already been confirmed and gone effective. Id. at ¶ 38.
